I remember when I went there being vaguely surprised by how common they were even in affluent areas. And realising how little hlp, or hope, there was for any of them.

Even commenting on their existence brought me nothing but grief from my hosts who regarded such as an attack on America or them...or something.

Yet they are images I can't ignore, particularly those of the vets.

I'm not saying the UK is unblemished here, but our system is not so brutal.
